Hope this is of use to anyone looking to book the Noordam.
We are just home in the UK after a great vacation to Florida that included a 10 night Southern Caribbean cruise on the Noordam. I have sailed once previously with Holland America in 2010 and my wife twice, 2010 with me and 2013 on the Ryndam with her daughter (I was left behind to work to earn the money to pay for the cruises!).
We used our Virgin Atlantic miles this time so the routing was Manchester/Heathrow/Miami which was fine other than the Manchester flight being late and them holding the Miami flight whilst it arrived and we were running (with about 10 others) between terminals.
Nice well appointed cabin in good condition, wife really liked having the bath as opposed to just a shower. Bed and pillows very comfortable. Cabin steward VERY GOOD.
